I Anne Hoagman of Camden in the County of Waldo & State of Maine wife of Mr Hoagman & of seventy two years of age do on oath testify & say that I from the age of three or four years until my marriage, which was after the close of the revolutionary war, lived in the town of Mason in the State of New Hampshire & was a near neigh- bor to Isaac Hagg who now resides in Northport in the County of Waldo & who is now present. As I know that he enlisted at the commencement of the Revolutionary war for eight months into captain Benjamin Mear's company & marched for Cambridge near Boston. I was in habits of intimacy with the wife of said Hagg & I occasionally saw letters from said Hagg to his wife while he was at Cambridge. It was immediately after the Bunker Hill battle, stated in our neighborhood, & was always so stated that said Hagg was in that battle, & that he was while a soldier a faithful & efficient one. At the expiration of his time of service said Hagg returned to his home & I recollect it was during the following winter after his enlistment or volunteering to go to Cambridge as a guard. I further state that the following summer if my recollection is right (to time) said Hagg enlisted & was marched for Landeroga, & the time he was to serve was for six months five months. At the expiration of which time or soon after he returned again to his home. I further state that said Hagg marched for Rhode Island as a volunteer when General Sullivan commanded there & that he was absent from his home not a very great space of time, but do not distinctly recollect the time. I further state that the early scenes of that war are strongly engraved on my mind, and that from

The fact of my intimacy in the family of Mr. Flegg, and my acquaintance with others who lived at the early stage of the war I can with great confidence depose to the foregoing facts. I further state that I knew Capt. Mann very well & that he is now dead Anna Hodgman

J L. Edwards Esq
Sir
In your favor of Nov 22 1932 accompanying the return to Mr Flagg's application, you are pleased to remark thus.
"Unless Mr Flagg can "state the Regiment in which he served at "Rhode Island so that the service can be "traced by the rolls, or will offer other satisfactory "proof of that term, it cannot be allowed "in the computation of your pension."
Mr Flagg has with much trouble obtained all the traditional evidence of his service in his known to process, which is contained in the depositions herewith enclosed -
Being now almost 85 years of age, he

cannot recollect his Colonel's name in his service at Rhode-Island. Mr Hosmer however, disposes that he was absent on that expedition from one to two months, & Mrs. Hodgman disposes that he was absent from home to that place not a very great share of time, but some length of time.
If Mr Flagg's statement be true he served the first Term 8 m. 0 2 d do 4 \frac{1}{2} " 3 d do 6 weeks or 1 \frac{1}{2} 14 months in all
We hope the Department will consider this and your service proved, and that the pension certificates will be forwarded to your very humble servant

I Nathaniel Hosmer of Camden in the County of Waldo & State of Maine & of the age of sixty six years do on oath testify & say that from a very early period of my life I have known Isaac Hagg who now resides in Northport in said County of Waldo & who is here present that at the commence- ment of the Revolutionary war I lived in Mason in the State of New Hampshire & was very near & intimate in the house & family of said Hagg - When the alarm came that the English were killing our people at Lexington - said Hagg with others started for that place & did not return to stay except for a day or two on a visit until the following winter - During the summer of that year I went with my father down to Cambridge & we went together to Winter Hill where said Hagg was stationed, purposely to see him, & I well recollect that he was then a private in Capt. Benjamin Merrill's company & it was said was enlisted in said company - The time of the enlist- ment I have forgotten if I ever knew, but I well recollect that he returned in a very heavy snow storm & required some assistance to get out of a snow drift. I recollect of said Hagg's enlist- ing in 1776 & marching for Ticonderoga - the names of the officers I have forgotten & the time he was absent I am unable now to state, but I am positive it was for several months - My father went to Ticonderoga while said Hagg was there absent, with articles to dispose of to the soldiers & I well recollect of his stating on his return that he there saw said Hagg. I further state that said Hagg volunteered & marched for Rhode Island during the time the Gen. Sullivan com-

manded there & that the said Hagg was absent from one to two months on that expedition. My father volunteered & marched at the same time on this last expedition.
So many years have elapsed that I cannot speak of facts that I probably once knew with so great confidence as perhaps might be expected - but one thing I am confident of viz. that said Hagg always obtained the reputation of being a good & faithful soldier ~ Wm H. Hosmer
